Allcoast Posted November 1, 2015 Posted November 1, 2015 (edited) What is the process to attain my HK droid in the normal class progression? Not the one that is given to you in KOTFE and then <spoiler>? Edited November 3, 2015 by Allcoast
Jerqa Posted November 1, 2015 Posted November 1, 2015 You have to do a series of missions to acquire your own personal HK. Once you do it once you may then unlock it for each of your characters for credits or cartel coins. I do not remember the starting npc but you should be able to look it up on Dulfy.net or Google easily enough. Hope this helps
Jerqa Posted November 2, 2015 Posted November 2, 2015 I looked it up for you and here is a link to Dulfy's HK-51 guide : http://dulfy.net/2012/10/11/swtor-patch-1-5the-hunt-for-hk-51companion-droid/
ForceWelder Posted November 2, 2015 Posted November 2, 2015 I am not going to lie to you, the HK quest line is a pain. Some of the scan areas where the parts can be found are quite large and it will consume a considerable amount of time to get them. You also need characters on both factions to get all the parts as parts are located on both capital worlds. I did it once and swore I would never do it again. Easier to earn a million credits to gain him as a companion than to spend hours looking for all the parts again.
JediQuaker Posted November 2, 2015 Posted November 2, 2015 (edited) I am not going to lie to you, the HK quest line is a pain. And I'm not going to lie either - The quest to get the HK-51 droid can be a ton of fun. I've done it about 10 times. But, realistically, doing it once or twice can be fun, but I admit it could get old real fast. The good news is that, with the way companions are now, there's no great reason to have HK-51 more than once or twice. P.S. in case that link posted above doesn't work for you - you go to Section X - daily area on Belsavis - and talk to a droid to get the opening quest. Edited November 2, 2015 by JediQuaker
Icestar Posted November 2, 2015 Posted November 2, 2015 Not the one that is given to you in KOTFE and then ultimately *snip* Careful with the spoilers, not all have done the story
Jerqa Posted November 2, 2015 Posted November 2, 2015 I enjoyed doing the quest. I did not find it to be difficult in the least. It takes time, but that's the fun of it. Anyhow, I hope you are able to get your HK. Even if he is not the best anymore, he is still hilarious
LordSkyKnight Posted November 2, 2015 Posted November 2, 2015 If you decide to run the quests to acquire the HK parks, make sure you are systematic in your search area. Pick a start point and move in a grid. If you bounce around all over the place, you are just going to extend your search time. Also, check the chat channel and see if anyone else is looking. It's a good idea to team up with people to search. It's a lot faster if you have more people helping to search for it. If you don't want to read the guide to spoil the quest, the NPC to start it is located near the shuttle in Section X on Belsavis.
Allcoast Posted November 3, 2015 Author Posted November 3, 2015 Careful with the spoilers, not all have done the story Fixed
Icestar Posted November 3, 2015 Posted November 3, 2015 (edited) Fixed Thankyou There is also the option to use the spoiler tag, then it will show the text like this: Peekaboo Edited November 3, 2015 by Icestar
Emersyn Posted November 3, 2015 Posted November 3, 2015 Thankyou There is also the option to use the spoiler tag, then it will show the text like this: Peekaboo Is the HK that you get from the 50 quest comical at all? In KOTFE the HK was quite funny
Icestar Posted November 3, 2015 Posted November 3, 2015 (edited) Is the HK that you get from the 50 quest comical at all? The original HK got a companion story but does not do or say anything during the main character story. It used to be very good in combat (before all companions were equal). The expansion improved the storytelling so it is no wonder that they put in some effort to make the new HK a bit cooler. Edited November 3, 2015 by Icestar
JediQuaker Posted November 3, 2015 Posted November 3, 2015 (edited) Not really a spoiler but: If you have HK-51 there's an amusing bit in KoFE where your new "crew" confuses HK-51 for HK-55 and HK-51 is very "Sheldon Cooper-like" in it's responses. Edited November 3, 2015 by JediQuaker
Emersyn Posted November 3, 2015 Posted November 3, 2015 Awesome! (to both of the last two responses) I will have to nab the original HK on my next toon I take through KOTFE ahead of time I hope to see more of the bug-killing HK later on in KOTFE as well
